Tutorials & Classes
Living in Paris was a dream come true and training at Le Cordon Bleu Paris was the cherry on top! To walk the halls of Julia Child and talented master chefs who came before me was just amazing. I’m in awe of their passion, dedication to very hard work, and lust for learning to be the best at their craft. I want to share my passion and experience of some of the French Classics.
All classes are personalized with 4 students. I share the recipes, provide all the ingredients, and you learn the techniques. We have a traditional French lunch and you carry with you the memory and your just made French confections.
Note: All Classes are 4 hours. Reservations required. Payment must be made in advance and is non-refundable. Please bring your appetite, favorite apron, and wear comfortable shoes that cover your toes.
